About Cookies

When you login, you may receive a notice that the server wishes to set a cookie. If you say "no", the system will not be able to identify you and you will not be able to submit your paper. If you say "yes," you will be identified by our system and access to our server will be established.

Put simply, a "cookie" is a small piece of information about your identity. There are two kinds of cookies:

  • Transient cookie: "Transient" means the cookie is not stored on your hard drive and only exists as long as you are in our site. It contains information that identifies you and allows us to maintain continuity from one page to another as you communicate with us. We use this type of cookie.
  • Persistent cookie: Once installed, a persistent cookie remains on the hard drive of your personal computer. Generally, persistent cookies are accessible only to the site that wrote them, so no other sites can access your information. We don't use this type of cookie.

Check your browser preferences to be sure cookies have not been disabled. For example,

  1. For Internet Explorer 4, use option "View"/"Internet Option"/"Advanced"/"Cookies"/"Enable".
    For Internet Explorer 5, use option "Tools"/"Internet Option"/"Security", then "Internet"/"Custom Level"/"Cookies" or "Local Intranet"/"Custom Level"/"Cookies".
  2. For Netscape Version 3.0, use option "Options"/"Network preferences"/"Protocols"/"Cookies".
    For Netscape Communicator 4.6, use option "Edit"/"Preference"/"Advanced"/"Cookies".

You may choose "Help" on your browser if you do not know where to set this preference.
